AHCAS Application Fees

Fees

AHCAS charges $72 for the first program you apply to and $44 for each additional program.

Some programs may have an additional supplemental fee; contact your programs to learn if they require this and how to pay it.

Fee Waiver Codes

Some programs provide fee waiver codes that offset application fees. If you received a fee waiver code from your program, use the information below to apply it to your payment.

Note that you cannot redeem a program's fee waiver code after you submit your application to them. Additionally, if you miss a program deadline due to waiting for a fee waiver code, you must request a deadline extension from your program, not AHCAS.

Using a Fee Waiver Code

You can apply your fee waiver code(s) when you are ready to submit your application.

  1. Click My Programs in the top right of the application.
  2. Click the Submit Programs button.
  3. Review your program selections and click Continue.
  4. On the payment page, click the plus icon for Fee Waiver Codes and enter the fee waiver codes you received from the programs.
  5. Click Add.
  6. Complete the rest of the payment details pages.

Note the following:

  • When a fee waiver code equals the total transaction amount, you don't need to enter additional payment information.
  • When a fee waiver code is less than the total transaction amount, you'll need to enter payment information for the additional balance.
  • When a fee waiver code is more than the total transaction amount, you don't need to enter additional payment information. However, you'll forfeit the remaining balance offered by the fee waiver code, as AHCAS will not issue credits or carry remaining balances forward.
  • Fee waiver codes cannot be applied to chargeback fees.

If you used a fee waiver code when submitting to a program, the code will be listed under Payment History.
